Double sprint world record holder Usain Bolt will be in attendance at the upcoming Commonwealth Games on Australia’s Gold Coast, as a spectator – his former training partner Yohan Blake has inadvertently revealed.

Blake – who will represent Jamaica in the sprints – referred to the planned visit during the second week of the Games while he was attending a media sleep-over event at the Athletes’ Village.

“My friend Usain Bolt is coming as well, he’s coming to watch the 100 metres final,” said Blake, who arrived in Brisbane yesterday.

“(He) was at the track in Jamaica before I left.

Eight times an Olympic champion, Bolt was a member of the Jamaican team that won the 4x100m relay at the last Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014.

His visit will follow that of Prince Charles, who will officially open the Games on April 4.

The 28-year-old Blake, who won the world 100m title in Daegu 2011, after Bolt had been disqualified from the final for false-starting, added that the Gold Coast Athletes’ Village was the most impressive he had seen.

Other members of the Jamaica track and field team including Olympic 100m and 200m champion Elaine Thompson will arrive in Australia on Wednesday.
